Covid-19

[Lloyd Braun]

In all seriousness, not a fan of that cardinal at all for several reasons. For one, He's stuck in the 1950s and still thinks homosexuality is satan's work. While I sometimes think Pope Francis is a little too progressive, this guy is way too far conservative in his religious perspective for me.

I really don’t know any cardinals/bishops etc anywhere outside the diocese I live in. I know the Pope, our bishop, handful of local priests and that’s it let alone their political/social beliefs. Just like this board, the loudest are typically the more extreme in either direction I feel.

It could only be worse if your pizza is delivered cold with the cheese stuck to the roof of the box! I’ll blame the Pope for that too!

I personally find life easier when I just ignore Lou and his links. I’ll trust solid sources like the CDC and the Mayo Clinic. Not so much Lou on the XU Hoops board and the links that fit his narrative.

Frankly, I was just hoping someone would appreciate an 80s movie reference

There seems to be seasonality with covid but that’s not a surprise as it’s a respiratory virus. But interjecting that into the discussion of using Twitter as a source is a different discussion... I don’t think anyone debated seasonality. Just using Twitter to back any point whether it’s true or fake.

Flat believing something on Twitter is a really bad idea.
Flat dismissing something because it’s on Twitter is just as bad.

Again... and I’ll type slowly this time. One can verify the validity of the data compilation in that Twitter thread in a matter of minutes.

Sure, there’s just so much junk on Twitter and other sites that it is impossible trying to fact check everything. For instance, let’s say we were going to try and fact check everything Lou posts. It could take hours, and at the end of the day nobody is changing their mind. As a scientist, you should know that peer reviewed journals and controlled clinical trials are the gold standard to decision making and not a Twitter thread, no matter how accurate.

Ok Lou- now do the Pope. What does he say about covid?

Also... what does this line mean: “ one of the most powerful Catholics in the United States.” ?

What kind of powers does he have? I think we may be talking about real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria!

It's true, Your Honor. This man has no dick.

Disagree..outdated and another article that just blames trump for everything. Delete.

You are correct, it was from back in Sept. So it doesn't address the recent surges.
But it's a good review of our responses up till that point. Did you read the whole article?

Yes I read it. It was like reading the progressive left manifesto....it mentioned about every social justice cause possible and blamed trump for everything. Just typical partisan bs.
